Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. Today, we’re continuing our journey through the Book of Acts—and we’re reminded that following Jesus often means facing detours, delays, and even difficulty.

In this message, we’ll see the Apostle Paul moved from place to place under heavy guard, wrongly accused by powerful people, and caught in a waiting game that stretched on for years. But through it all, God's purposes kept unfolding.

You’ll be challenged and encouraged as we explore three truths from Acts 23 and 24:

You’ll move around a lot.

People will falsely accuse you.

It will take longer than you think.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, misunderstood, or delayed in doing what God’s called you to do—this message is for you. Let’s dive in.

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast, where we open God’s Word together and grow as disciples of Jesus.

This weekend, we’re continuing our journey through the Book of Acts in Acts 22:30–23:30—a passage full of tension, trials, and God’s sovereign care. The Apostle Paul finds himself in yet another unjust situation, and yet what we see is deeply encouraging.

In this message, we’ll explore three powerful truths:

We’re called to act uprightly, even when life feels downright unfair.

The Lord never leaves His people—He encourages those He calls, just as Jesus promised in Matthew 28.

And in the middle of everyday moments, God’s providence is always at work.

Let’s listen in, and be reminded that no matter what we face, our God is near, in control, and always faithful.

Sometimes obedience brings us straight into hardship. That doesn’t mean we’ve missed God’s will—it might mean we’re exactly where He wants us.

In this episode, we pick up Paul’s story in Acts 21. He’s falsely accused, dragged out of the temple, and nearly killed by an angry mob. But instead of retreating, Paul stands and shares his story. He tells of his past, his encounter with Jesus, and the mission he’s been given. And along the way, we see three truths that still matter today:

Let’s get to work.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for people—even churches—to divide? Whether it’s over something as serious as theology or as silly as a favorite fried chicken, we tend to split off, form factions, and guard our preferences. But Jesus prayed for something better—for unity. In John 17, He asked the Father to make us one, so that the world would believe.

In this episode, we’re turning to Acts 21:15–26 to see what it takes to preserve unity in the body of Christ. When tensions rise and misunderstandings happen—as they always will—how do we stay rooted in grace and keep the peace?

The Apostle Paul provides a powerful picture—not just of doctrine and conviction, but of humility, sacrifice, and deep commitment to the unity of the Church. Join us as we walk through this text and discover what it means to be on the same team, deal with disunity, and give of ourselves for the sake of gospel peace.

Let’s dive in.

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. We're so glad you're joining us today.

In this message, we continue our verse-by-verse study through the Book of Acts by turning to one of the most personal and powerful moments in Paul’s ministry—his farewell to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20:17–38.

In this passage, Paul offers a compelling example of faithful leadership and gospel courage. He shows us what it means to serve with humility, sacrifice for the mission, teach the truth, protect the church, and—above all—trust the Lord.

Wherever you're listening from, we pray this message encourages you to follow Jesus more fully and live boldly for His kingdom.

Let’s get into the Word together.

Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel podcast. This weekend, we’re in Acts 20:1–12 with a message titled “A Good Example.”

There’s something powerful about a life worth imitating. From the heroes of Hebrews 11 to faithful believers we've known personally, their stories stir us to live differently. In the same way, the life of the Apostle Paul in Acts compels us—not just to admire him, but to follow his lead.

So what does a faithful example look like? Paul shows us: be encouraging, be a friend, and ultimately, be like Jesus. This is a message that calls us to build others up, link arms with one another, and carry the presence of Christ into every space we occupy.

We’re so glad you’re listening in. Now let’s open God’s Word together.

Previously on…” You’ve probably heard that phrase before—TV shows love to catch you up before diving into a new episode. And in some ways, Acts 19 feels like that. We get a quick recap of Paul’s ministry in Ephesus—powerful preaching, miraculous healings, even public repentance and idol-burning. The gospel was taking root in people’s lives in real, radical ways.

But then… trouble. When lives are changed by Jesus, the world takes notice—and not everyone likes it. In this sermon, we’re diving into one of the most dramatic scenes in the book of Acts—a city in uproar, a mob in the streets, and a church in the middle of it all. We’ll tell the story, then look at what it means for us today with three powerful takeaways. Let’s get into it.

What happens when counterfeit power comes face to face with the real thing? In today’s message, “A Tale of Two Clothes,” we explore one of the most dramatic moments in Acts—where the power of God collides with spiritual imposters.

Through this striking encounter, we’ll discover why the source of power matters, how the true power of Jesus exposes the limits of every rival authority, and what happens when people come face to face with the truth. Join us in Acts 19:11–20 as we see how God’s power not only reveals—but transforms.
